Sinn Féin - On Your Side

Sean Crowe TD meets House of Commons Exiting the EU Committee

Sinn
Féin’s spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, Seán Crowe TD, met with the
House of Commons Exiting the EU Committee in Leinster House.

Speaking after the meeting Deputy Crowe said:

“I welcomed the opportunity to meet the House of Commons Exiting the EU Committee during their one day visit to Dublin.

“During
our meeting I detailed my party’s deep concerns over the British
Government’s approach to Brexit and how it will impact on Ireland unless
the North is granted a special status within the EU.

“I told
the Committee that the North being forced to leave the EU against the
expressed wishes of its people will also represent a major set-back for
the political process in the north, and directly challenge the integrity
of the Good Friday Agreement. I made it clear that this also
fundamentally undermines the principle of consent contained in the
Agreement.

“I also briefed the Committee on the Sinn Féin
motion, which was passed by the Dáil last week, calling on the
Government to negotiate for special designated status within the EU.”
